Panduit UTP28SP2BU Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP2BU is a 2-foot, blue Cat6 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) patch cord designed for high-density network environments. Its compact 28 AWG stranded conductor construction simplifies cable management and installation, particularly in tight spaces. This cord is suitable for demanding applications including 10GBASE-T Ethernet over limited distances, ATM, and digital video, and supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ power delivery, making it ideal for powering high-draw network devices like advanced wireless access points or PTZ cameras.

Compatibility

This Panduit UTP28SP2BU patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 standards and ISO 11801 Class E for frequencies up to 250 MHz. It is compatible with all standard RJ45-equipped network devices, including switches, routers, servers, and endpoints. Its support for IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (type 3 and type 4) PoE applications ensures it can safely carry power to compatible devices without requiring separate power supplies.

Installation Notes

Constructed with a CM/LSZH (CM/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) flammability rating, this cable is suitable for use in riser pathways and applications where fire safety regulations are stringent. The cable features a patented tangle-free latch on its modular plugs, preventing snags during installation and ensuring a secure, quick release when modifications are needed. It is wired to be compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, offering flexibility during deployment.
